Until the 19th century, the village was located by Lake Naświty (German: Nasewittsee), which was connected by the Drela River to Lake Ruda Woda. As a result of the construction of the Elbląg Canal between 1844 and 1860, and the lowering of the water levels of lakes located between Lake Jeziorak and Lake Drużno, Lake Naświty completely dried up.
